Tired of the same old boring client and employee appreciation events?
To achieve your goals, corporate appreciation events have to strike a delicate balance. You want to demonstrate your appreciation for your guests while also improving employee relationships or upselling existing clients.
However, you don’t want your appreciation event to feel like a typical team-building meeting or client happy hour. Have you had your fill of appreciation lunches and virtual happy hours? Let us plan a corporate appreciation event that will truly wow your guests!
The benefits of client appreciation events:
- Strengthen customer retention: The customer experience shouldn’t stop once you’ve made a sale. Client appreciation events allow you to take your customer journey beyond thank you emails and free gifts. Follow-up emails are an essential part of the customer experience, but appreciation events take your customer journey a step further. Client events allow help you demonstrate customers are much more than dollar signs to you – they’re valued partners.
- Upsell your services: It can be hard to find a good time to offer new products or services to your clients. Unlike phone calls and follow-up emails, client appreciation events are a pressure-free opportunity for you to connect with clients. For instance, say you host a year end appreciation event. Organically learn about clients’ goals for the upcoming year, showcase your successes and identify ways to leverage your partnership further.
- Gain referrals: Appreciation events are also a great way to connect with potential clients. Encourage your attendees to bring a guest, and you might get the opportunity to introduce your company to new people.
Build company culture through employee recognition events.
Want to make your next employee appreciation day extra special? Have a major company milestone to celebrate with your team members? Employee appreciation events show your team that you care and set you up for even greater success in the future. Employee appreciation events are an essential ingredient in a positive company culture.
Benefits of employee events:
Strengthen employee culture. Whether your team is remote or in-office, your employees get few opportunities to connect in a carefree setting. Hosting events centered around fun and entertainment can help you bring employees together.
Employee events are especially beneficial to large companies. Employees from all across the country can build relationships with people outside of their immediate team, reducing silos and boosting creativity. Given the opportunity to connect in a setting away from work, your employees will work even better together.
Drive employee success. Employees don’t just demonstrate better teamwork, they also do better work when they feel appreciated.
Your team will work harder, overcome challenges faster and generate more creative ideas when they feel motivated. Appreciation can go a long way towards your company’s success. Simple thank yous, appreciation gifts and events show employees their efforts do not go unnoticed
